Tight or loose-which leads to victory

I recently decided to experiment in tournaments open poker League-one time I was playing tight the other loose. To the best results in loose play. in a tight game I was waiting for the map and the position-as a result flew in the blinds.why it happened-because the strategy says about the other?

Playing open league is almost the same as playing freerolls. The will be a lot of unexperienced players, so if you see that some players go All In preflop in the first levels, than that means they are fishes (their holding can be even JTo or 83o ) and you will be able to double up if you just push 88+, AJs+,AQo+.
Many players in tese tournament don't know what they are doing and they come to play not to fold, so don't bluff and bet when you have middle pair and better. GL

Loose aggressive does win, just like tight aggressive wins. It really depends on which one you play well.

I think it is important to switch gears. A time and a place for everything.

In order to win tournaments you need to play with several styles and switch gears from time to time
early - tight is best
from middle to late - loose is best
and also how loose u play depends on stack size and players on ur table too

All depends on table dynamics.

However, if you play loose, in the early stages of a tournament you are more likely to get called by gamblers. And gamblers do get lucky from time to time.

But also your position matters. And above all it matters how the rest plays. When all play tight, playing looser will get you to rake in the blinds quite a lot. However when u do get called, they probably have a hand.

When all play loose, playing tight can pay off big time. That's why I prefer to play tight , especially in the beginning of a tournament.

Well, in the open league you need to play tight and to see cheap flops in the beginning. Then to wait the other guys, who are throwing all in with not the best cards so you may took their stack.

Most people would trry to play agressevely at first and tight during the end, because they want to get in the bubble, make the payjump, final table, etc.. But if you really see closely, most of the players who actually win tournaments, their strategy are the opposite:
- Play tight at first just big hands because they know that in the beggining the blinds are small and a lot of immature players will go insane and push all in all the time
-As long as the tournament lasts, the blinds increases, they play more agressive, trying to steal blinds, and pushes all ins at the right time
So when most people are attacking each other going all in during the beggining and killing themselves, they are(the winners) just watching.
And when people are feeling pressured by the money, bubble, making the final table and other stuff, and playing tight, they are the ones now in scene playing agressive. Thats my opinion though, best of luck

re: Poker & Tight or loose-which leads to victory

1. every thing depends on the field/game/ops
2. tag/nit is considderd better because you don't get your self in to wierd 2nd pair K with 1/3 of your stacks pot 3bet on the river so it leads to less leaks with bad hands.
3. playing only tag/nit will put you on a range very quickly so noone will play with you and even then if a fish calls you shove of KK with A3o some times you will lose, so carying your range is importint.
4. "league" is a freeroll with people of different exp. and skill ерш will lead to a table with agro-pro counting %/odds and loose-fish that catches a "hail marry", so play your best/learn and dont sweat to much if you loose with a set of AAA to frunner-runer fluh on the river.
5. aggro i very good but you NEED to know when and what is good. If you watch top streamers/players/youtubers.... you can sometimes wonder how this 1K nl zoom player can raise K9o, but usually they say what they expect from the hand and why did the act that way, was it odds/EV/read on op/BB rasing next turn...
